Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
|
|
| 1. | Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, |
| | Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; |
| | Streams of mercy, never ceasing, |
| | Call for songs of loudest praise. |
| | Jesus sought me when a stranger, |
| | Wand'ring from the face of God; |
| | He, to save my soul from danger, |
| | Interposed His precious blood. |
| 2. | O to grace how great a debtor |
| | Daily I'm constrained to be! |
| | Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, |
| | Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee. |
| | Teach me, Lord, some rapturous measure, |
| | Meet for me Thy grace to prove, |
| | While I sing the countless treasure |
| | Of my God's unchanging love. |
| 3. | Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; |
| | Prone to leave the God I love: |
| | Take my heart, oh, take and seal it |
| | With Thy Spirit from above. |
| | Rescued thus from sin and danger, |
| | Purchased by the Savior's blood, |
| | May I walk on earth a stranger, |
| | As a son and heir of God. |
